If anyone is interested, I have a 4-way data switch w/ centronics type 
connects I will sell cheaply or trade for 4 way serial switchbox.

I need it for 4 GS to Imagewriter. Oddly, or not, I have not been able to 
get the 2 way box to work. MAybe because I have been using all printer 
cables as explained in this thread? But what is a "straight through" cable?

thanks
